I was recently in the Kapama Private Game Reserve for a 4 day wildlife shoot. I feel I need to share my experiences of that shoot.
Situated in the heart of the Waterburg and about 2.5 hours from Johannesburg, Marakele National Park is probably one park I will carry on visiting. Not that it has a lot of wildlife, but rather that the wildlife comes to you when camping at Bontle Camp Site.
Mapungubwe National Park is not exactly a place you decide to go too on a hunch, unless you are my wife and I, situated on the northern tip of South Africa, bordering both Botswana and Zimbabwe, it is a solid 6 hour trip from Johannesburg.

We spend most of the morning around the Highveld part of the canyon, the 3 Roundavels came first then moved on to the Lowveld View point to continue onto Wonder view and Gods Window. At lunch, we ate a the reputed Harry’s Pancake where I had a delicious and filling beef mince and cheese pancake, I would recommend it to anyone, if only for the greeting and service.
